Funded Activity Summary

Improving mechanical properties through heterogeneous structures. This project aims to explore the mechanisms of how heterogeneous structures have superior mechanical properties relative to homogenous structures by investigating how stacking fault energy affects the mechanical properties of materials. Materials with heterogeneous structures demonstrate superior mechanical properties, partly due to the simultaneous activation of multiple deformation mechanisms. Stacking fault energy plays a critical role in determining deformation mechanisms, yet the mechanism of this effect on the mechanical properties of materials with heterogeneous structures is not understood. This project is expected to provide guidance in structural and compositional design of heterogeneous metallic structures with optimum mechanical properties, which will significantly benefit Australian metallurgical and related industries.
